In the recent Intelligence Estimate the National Security Agency made a reference to "Single Issue" Terrorist groups being a possible threat in near future, three year horizon if I remember correctly. Fringe animal and environmental groups are cited as two possible examples. Why is this so easy to believe?Perhaps its because all you have to do is listen to 30 seconds of these zealots speak and it is easy to see. Spend just an hour surfing the "Left-o-sphere" and you will be pelted with barb after barb of hateful comments directed against this nation and its "draconian" policies. These people misplaced convictions could easily transform into violence. Why? Because they are committed, or should be, to an institution.
I don't believe that Al Gore or RFK Jr. are radicals, although I wonder about the latter given some of his recent statements. What I do believe is that if violence is done upon Americans in the name of "Climate Change" they both will side step any responsibility for inflaming the perpetrators with their irresponsible rhetoric that they spew. That is the liberal way. They can say what ever they want. But, if I disagree, Then I'm an ignorant, misinformed, close-minded, bigot that is destroying the world, a traitor.
When I read and hear things these nutjobs write and say its hard for me delineate between their vitriol and what a thousand other insane people have said throughout history. A threat is a threat. I don't care if it does come from a Harvard educated person. All that proves is that Harvard from time to time produces a nut.
If conservatives win the Presidency in 2008 and regain Congress, I am convinced that we will turn on the news and hear something like this:
- Oregon Lumber Company CEO thought to have been beheaded by members of radical "Tree Hugger Jihad". - OR -
- Progressives storm Supreme Court chambers after controversial reversal of Rowe vs Wade Decision, Justice Thomas hospitalized in fair condition. - OR -
- An attempt was made on the Presidents life today by members of GORE, the Global Organization of Radical Enviro-nuts.
I'm joking, a little, but I am fairly concerned that this nation is approaching an ideological flash point. It's not like it hasn't happened before. Fringe groups have resorted to the violent option before in this country. Does S.L.A or the name Patricia Hearst ring a bell?
